Mach 1 Dyno Day

[L.B.]

I dynoed my Mach for the first time today at PowerTrain Dynamics in Huntington Beach...just over 5K miles on the odometer...

Conditions were decent...9 am, low 80s... Dave/Poisionous Mods, Juan/Sonic Venum, and George/Jonas showed up for moral support...well, Juan was there to get walked off the line as we left, but that's a different thread :rollseyes

P Moddy shot video...he should be posting that later :-D Anyone interested in the Magnapack exhaust setup can check it out then

The tuner, Steve, gave my car plenty of attention... and 8 pulls and much tweaking of my Autologic chip later we had done the best we could with my mods (see sig) and the crap 91 octane California gas...295 RWHP...314 RWTQ... :beer:

Steve maintains that 11% is accurate for drivetrain loss on my car...I have seen others use 15-18%...

So at the flywheel...
11%=327 HP
15%=339 HP
18%=348 HP

Of course I like 348 :rolling: ...but I'm with Steve...He did agree that the gear swap to 4.10s is probably worth 5 HP...so I am probably just over 300 RWHP....

Damn I wish we has good gas :cryying:

It was a great day that ended up over at XMP for more mods on the cars, good company, several 03 Cobras, and a ride in Juan's pullied and chipped 03 Snake :uh oh:

Damn I love my car :lol: :thumbsup:

Nice pulls. What were the SAE corrected numbers?

 

[L.B.]

Hey Robert...thanks....I didn't even look at SAE #s...I was interested in as pure a number as to what I was putting to the ground as I could get...and at sea level in fairly normal conditions they wouldn't have changed much...

What were your actual HP numbers? That is impressive for stock:beer:

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Cam, Ur car sounds very nice ;-)

Mach1Driver the numbers on the Dynojet Print Out is SAE Actual Numbers :beer: :beer:

U should check his Local Thread with the sound clip in it

Actually that is incorrect. On a Dynojet Actual numbers are (STD) uncorrected.

Anyway thanks L.B. those are some real nice numbers you put down. One thing I thought I would mention because I was a bit confused in your wording but. 4.10's will actually show a slight loss in power on the dyno vs the stock gears and not a gain.

Again congrats on the great runs, looks like your combination is going together nicely.

P.S. Forgot you asked what my Actual numbers were.. 285.4Rwhp/311Rwtq

Regarding the gears...I am aware that a numerical increase in gear ratio shows a loss on the dyno...that was why I said I was probably at 300...the 4.10s were prob worth 5 HP loss...thus putting me at 295...

So you are saying you pulled 285 completely stock? You must be happy with that...262-270 seems to be the norm...I have seen plenty of guys who have had to mod their way to 285...

Ok, wasn't sure when I had read your statment if you were saying a gain or a loss so I thought I would mention it.

Yes, 285 was the actual number the car put down BUT I don't use it, I prefer the SAE number as it is easier to make comparisons with others that way. I am very happy with the car over all and plan to start doing some mods this month. I have just been taking my time trying to put together a combo that does what I want with the least amount of parts. :-D

Anyway back to the dyno results, depending on the conditions when you did your pulls you may have actually had higher SAE numbers then your actual numbers. Did you receive a print out with the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure recorded during your run? Or happen to remember off hand the temp and humidity?

I also wanted to ask you how you like those springs? What kinda drop did you get? How's the ride? And have you taken it to the track since the dyno? :thumbsup:

 

[L.B.]

No print out...it was mid 80's and a couple miles from the beach...

I love the springs :beer: I got a 2" drop front and back...ride is firm but not uncomfortable...with the other suspension mods it handles very nicely...this car is a f*cking blast to drive...

No I have not been to the track...but stoplight to stoplight...:rollseyes

Nah...only if u got Cat Less. Mil's work pretty good. The only ones having issues is the Bassani X-pipes with Cats. Still throws codes :shrug:

So when u planning on installing it ;-)

 

[351c.i.d]

As soon as I get it delivered man. I have access to the hobby shop on base and can rent a lift for a couple bucks an hour. Me and my buddy are gonna swap it out. I can't wait. By the way Dave I heard your clip of the exhaust.....holy shit.....that thing sounds like a monster. Sounds awesome. I love the part when you take that left in between the buildings and how the exhaust sounds between the walls.....damn..
